While addressing the media, Aisha’s father Gulam Rasul spoke about his financial hardships and his daughter’s hard work, despite the lack of required facilities. He said, “I belong to a very poor family, and despite our lack of necessary amenities, we have tried our best to educate our daughter to give her whatever she wants. Despite inadequate power supply and other facilities in my village Amroh, she managed to study well. When COVID-19 lockdown was implemented students were worried about getting a proper education. However, the school kept supporting us and we were provided with free books and study material.”
